In the lazy days of summer
We’ll be sipping lemonade.
With the bright blue sky above us
We will try to find some shade.
We will visit sandy beaches
Cross the lake in our canoe.
In the lazy days of summer
What a joy to be with you.
We will watch the children playing,
Or we’ll sit and read a book!
We may hike and tent on mountains,
Splashing in the babbling brook.
In the evening by the fire,
We’ll sing every camping song,
We will do much outdoor living,
For our summers are not long.
We’ll enjoy the fruits in season,
And we’ll watch our garden grow!
We will gather juicy berries,
Canning jellies by the row!
We’ll have friends and family picnics!
Take a trip to far away,
Yes, our summer months are precious;
God gives joy each brand new day!

What a great summer poem. It made me visualize all those summer experiences...
Even if I won't be doing the things listed in your poem...it sure took me back to summers as a child!
Karin...you are a wonderfully gifted poet!

Hello from the Land of Oz..
Yes God does bring joy each new day.
Have you heard of Spiritual Sundays? You can link up with other like minded Bloggers.. Its on my side bar. God Bless you. Crystal Mary.
What a happy poem about summer and the flowers look great too - unfortunately we (Gizzy and I) spend more time indoors during the summer than any other season because we can't take the heat; and you know what they say: "If you can't take the heat, get out of the ... well, sun!" LOL
It's still great to be alive! Happy Sunday, Karin :-)
How lovely Karin. Your words paint such sweet images. God bless you.
Summer months makes me lazy like a lizard! One thing I like about these months is the chance I get to visit beeches with family!!! I love beaches they fill me with life!
